Deactivate autostart in Linux client

ottermanns · Sep 21, 2011

Sorry if this is off-topic. No Linux client category was available.

Does anybody know how to deactivate the autostart option for the Linux client? "Lauch automatically at system start up" is checked in Options but grayed-out so I cannot change it. Even if I start it in root mode (/opt/2X/Client/bin/2XClient). Up to now I couldn't find any config-file.

Seems to be a Gnome setting, because with xfce no autostart is initiated.

After reboot autostart of client is initiated in xfce also.

Netx try: in home directory ./config/2X/Client/settings.2xi -> launchAutomatically="0"

Now "Lauch automatically at system start up" is checked no longer ... but the client continues to start automatically at system start up.

Hi there,

Which Linux distribution you are using?
Just tried on Ubuntu 11.04 x32, installed latest version of 2X client, no autostart there, can setup manually under Startup Applications.

Kind regards.

I'm using Debian 6.0.1. with Gnome 2.30.2 or XFCE.

The same problem using Debian 7.0 (Wheezy) XFCE. No autostart configured. Client startet once, closed, reboot, client keeps on autostarting. Autostart field checked and greyed out. Obtrusive.
